Does anyone know where the memory for the odometer is stored at? Over the weekend I decided to tear the dash out to find the circuit card that has been causing the "Gauge dying" problem that has been reported here many times.

It didn't take long to get the gauge cluster out and find the card. Turns out, it is THE circuit card. I took some pictures of it to show everyone.

Large versions are here: Front and Rear

As you can see this card contains the LCD for the odometer. But I can't tell if it also has a memory chip to hold the odometer mileage. I want to buy a new card to replace the faulty one but I don't want to reset my mileage (as that would be illegal).

So, back to my original question, would the mileage be stored on this card or somewhere else?
